Coll and Tiree - almost on the edge.....

A mainly wet and windy week on Coll and Tiree  - and of course the winds in the wrong direction - but still a good week (even if not for bird photography).  Coll provided a chance to practice star photography and some stunning skies.... and three ferries!!!!!!     Whatever I'm sharing my holidays snaps...........

Coll - our home for two nights - the white gable end nearest the shore

Great flocks of Twite and Linnets just wouldn't sit still long enough and Stonechats were everywhere

Not a bad view to wake up to!!

Coll has a reputation for dark skies

Hares, Brent and Barnacle Geese

The local RSPB Warden on Tiree alerted us to a Lesser Yellowlegs which was so obliging as to stay near the road and be clearly seen

 Early morning on Tiree from my room - the hotel is the red building!!
